Maybe you've heard this once or a couple thousand times the past couple seasons: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL Draft.

As the last pick of the draft, Purdy isn't high on the NFL's salary scale. His contract is $3.737 million over four years. His base salary last season was $870,000. Maybe you've also heard this, but Purdy shares rent with a roommate and drives a Toyota.

When the NFL announced its performance-based bonuses on Monday, it was a pretty big deal to Purdy and several others on the lower end of the NFL's pay scale.
